"Mm, I'm still alive, Kitty," Yoshino said with a gentle smile, but her eyes also reddened, her voice filled with excitement. She sat down in the seat next to Evangeline, turned, and gently hugged Evangeline's trembling body, softly stroking her back: "Now we meet again, but this isn't a time for sadness, we should be smiling, shouldn't we?"
"W-woo... I thought, I thought I'd never see you again," Evangeline said, burying her head deep in Yoshino's embrace and sobbing. If Yoshino hadn't set up a magic circle here, Evangeline's current state would probably have been seen by the girls in the class. At that point, it wouldn't be something that could be explained with just a word or two.
"Hehe, to be honest, I didn't expect to survive either. You know, I was in a temporal Turbulence (turbulent flow of time and space) and almost got into trouble." Yoshino gently stroked Evangeline's soft golden hair, while slowly and in detail recounting her experiences in the temporal Turbulence to Evangeline. Even she herself was surprised that, without realizing it, she had come to regard Evangeline as more important than her companions from Red Wings. In the depths of her heart, she didn't want to deceive Evangeline, this "True Ancestor of Blood" who, in essence, was still just a Little Girl who hadn't grown up.
"Kitty, have you been well all these years?" Yoshino held Evangeline's soft little hand, gently squeezing her palm from time to time, making her little face flush slightly.
"No... Not at all!" Evangeline turned her little head away, and her voice, seemingly thinking of something, carried a hint of melancholy.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Yoshino asked somewhat nervously, while simultaneously beginning to check Evangeline's physical condition. She discovered a very powerful seal on Evangeline that had sealed all her power; currently, she was just a Little Girl with no power.
"Isn't it because of you? At that time, I thought... I thought... so I ran to ask your bird's nest-headed idiot captain, and ended up falling into that guy's trap..." Evangeline lifted her little head, glaring at Ye Yue indignantly. She angrily grabbed Yoshino's right hand and bit it hard, making Yoshino gasp in pain, but she dared not and did not want to resist. However, after taking a sip of blood, Evangeline released Yoshino's hand. She could feel her magic power recover a little, and she sighed, realizing how precious Yoshino's blood was to a Vampire.
"I was cursed by that guy with something called 'School Hell', and I have to stay here as a middle school girl for the rest of my life. I've been in this damn place for fifteen years, fifteen years! Do you know what I've been through these past fifteen years? Attending classes with these little brats every day is just terrible! If it weren't for the fact that I can't use magic, I would have used [World End] to freeze this damned Academy City!" By this point, Evangeline's voice was tinged with a sob, indicating how severe her dissatisfaction was! Finally, she radiated intense killing intent, making Yoshino shiver. It seems her resentment is truly profound, almost materialized. It's terrifying!
"I see, let me take a look." Yoshino began to analyze the 'School Hell' within Evangeline. She found the Magic Formula of this curse to be incredibly intricate, completely unlike the clever magic Nagi, who mostly relies on cheat sheets for his spells, could cast. Even if Yoshino used the one hundred and three thousand grimoire in her mind, along with the magic taught by Al and Seguto, it would still take some time to unravel. Furthermore, this magic couldn't be entirely undone at once; it had to be slowly unraveled in stages to fully restore Evangeline's original strength.
"I'm sorry, Kitty. I can't undo such an intricate magic right now; I can only unravel it little by little. So, could you please wait for me for a while to undo this magic?" Yoshino said apologetically. Although she could choose a violent method to forcibly break the curse within Evangeline, who knew if such a forceful breaking would have side effects? For her safety, Yoshino could only choose to slowly unravel the curse little by little.
"It's alright, Yoshino. Anyway, I've already been here for fifteen years, so I can afford to wait a bit longer. As long as you can stay by my side." Seeing Yoshino's crestfallen expression, Evangeline chuckled and pulled Yoshino's cheek, saying, "As expected, it's so smooth and tender! I wonder how she maintains it."
"Mm, I will always stay by your side." Even with her cheek being pinched, she smiled and vowed.
'I won't leave you again.'
